Baby Sex

Baby Sex is a demo tape recorded in 1971, in a time before The Residents got their name. It contains various studio recordings and excerpts from the group's open mic performance at the Boarding House in San Francisco. The album presents itself as somewhat of a sound collage, taking obvious inspiration from the works of Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart.

The tape is quite rare, has not been officially released and is very unlikely to ever be. However, bootlegs of the tape can be easily found on the Internet.

The album marks the first appearance of guitarist / violinist Philip "Snakefinger" Lithman and The Mysterious N. Senada, who is rumored to be a mere fabrication of The Residents' lore. Both musicians also played with the group at the Boarding House performance.
